The CSIRO Division of Radiophysics used the WWII surplus AN/TPS-3 radar dishes for their early solar radio astronomy research and eclipse observations. These aerials were also used in a spaced (Michelson) interferometer configuration in the late 1940s to investigate solar limb brightening at 600 MHz. This work paralleled early solar observations at Cambridge. None of the Australian research results using the spaced interferometry technique appeared in publications, and the invention of the solar grating array in 1950 made further use of the method redundant.
